Congratulations to Ernie Mace =D> for winning the F-Std in the Duncan. Ken McLachlan was only 1 point back, with Alan Seaman third. And also to Karl Bell =D> who just edged out his old man in F-Open, with Chris Burdett a close third.
-- DUNCAN RESULTS

After day 1 of the Queens, Ernie Mace is tied with Jenni Hausler and Ken McLachan. And in Open, Martin Lobert is 3 points up on Cameron McEwan, with Kelvin Bell not far back in third.

Tomorrow is 6, 7, 8 and 900yds - that's where the shoe pinches as my Dad used to say.

Day 2 placings in F-Std, Ernie Mace and Tony Beardmore finished equal. In F-Open, Martin Lobert won the day again, and Chris Burdett did better than yesterday just 4 points behind Martin.

-- Day 2 Agg

Queens Agg standings after day 2 are Ernie Mace with a slender lead in F-Std, and Michael Lobert has increased yesterday's lead in F-Open, and will be very hard to catch now, with only one hard target left.

Its all over at Belmont. Great performance in F-Std from Ernie Mace =D> in a very close affair. He won the Queens by 4 from Tony Beardmore, with Jenni Hausler a further 3 back in the field of 16.

In F-Open, Martin (Marty) Lobert =D> continued his domination, by winning both ranges today and drawing away to win by 18 from National Queens winner Cameron McEwan, and Chris Burdett in third.

Marty, Cameron, Chris, we'd really appreciate some info on equipment, calibres etc when you get home?

I've just been in contact with Marty Lobert - after that performance I reckon he'll have a smile on his face for a month :D :D . His rifle was the same as the one he used for his possible at 600m last month (see Possibles page). I believe this is the first 7mmx284 to win at a Queens? Is this a sign of things to come? :shock:

When asked about what Cameron and Chris were using, he thought that Cameron used his 6BR on Day 1 followed by 6.5x284 on days 2 and 3, with Chris using a 243Win right through.

He is full of praise for Cameron's sportmanship and grace in defeat - apparently he offered Marty the loan of his equipment when he had extractor trouble. This is what our sport needs more of - and the best way of having it happen is with more shooters going to Queens, where many good friendships are made... :-({|= yes ok that's enough :roll: ....

G Day All

First I would like to congratulate Marty on a great win. His performance cannot be under estimated, as the conditions were tricky. On top of this he had an extractor break, but was very fortunate to find a replacement, then continue on his winning way. His rifle is a tack holer, but you still have to point them in the right direction.

I used my 6BR on day one. Hart 1A action, TrueFlite barrel, 1 - 8" x 30", NXS scope and glued to a Mastin F stock. Managed a 100 at 300yds.

Day 2 & 3 I used 6.5-284. Quadlite action, Jewell trigger, McMillan Baker Special stock, 1 - 8" x 28" Maddco barrel and 24x Weaver. Again started with a possible 100, this time at 600yds. Then it was trying to stay with Marty.

Had a big moment after 700yds on day 2. Wound the scopes up twice on both mine and my wife's rifles, oh dear!!! As a result at 800 Julie took 4 to 5 shots to get on the target, but to her credit she kept going and finished. My first sighter was a miss and then back on target. I always tell people that you always learn something new each time you shoot. Enough said with that one.

Well done ALL, it was a great shoot.
